7:41pm ET - Dodd back up, still fighting the FISA fight.

[gateley]

I think it's going to be resumed in the morning....

EDIT -- he will ask his colleagues tomorrow to vote AGAINST cloture. Keeping fingers crossed.

He said he's spoken about 20 hours on this issue thus far. Love ya, Senator Dodd!

[K Gardner]

1. Admittedly, I've lost track of where this stands. Thanks for prodding/updating Gately.. must

get. on. the. phone or email !

[gateley]

6. Woo Hoo! He's getting pissed all over again - and the Senate chambers are

deserted!

[msongs]

2. so what is ol' harry reid doing about it? nt

[gateley]

7. I couldn't understand what the hell Reid was trying to say. nt

[jkshaw]

3. We all owe Senator Dodd carloads of thanks for this.

[maddezmom]

4. thanks for posting

haven't had a chance to check in today. Listening now. :hi:

[Vadem]

5. The vote is tomorrow, isn't it? I pray that it will be defeated!... n/t

[gateley]

9. He wants to "strip the retroactive immunity" part from the bill, and "if it's not

stripped, to vote against cloture".

[WillyT]

Thank You !!! - K & R !!!

:bounce:

[gateley]

14. Thanks for the K&R - time to get this back in our consciousness! nt

[NJSecularist]

8. Thank you, Senator Dodd!

Dodd for Senate Majority Leader!!

[Tatiana]

10. Dodd needs to be majority leader.

Our agenda goes nowhere because we don't have someone who can marshall the votes to get our bills passed. Dodd can do it.

[gateley]

12. I would LOVE to see that!

I don't know if you're listening, but he's reaming the Bush administration -- he's kicking ass!

[Tatiana]

16. I tuned in after I saw your post.

Thanks :hi:

He really is breaking it down. Military Communications Act. Writ of Habeas Corpus. Without a day in court, how can you let anyone know what you have been detained for at all? Without a day in court, how can you prove you are innocent?

Talking about a prisoner being tortured at Guantanamo.

Even the Gestapo banned waterboarding.

[gateley]

20. My pleasure! And I know -- he's off on a tangent and he's disgusted! Love him! nt

[thevoiceofreason]

11. Get 'em, Senator

[Bozita]

13. Thank you.

[sniffa]

15. Off to the GP you go

Thank you Senator Dodd. :patriot:

I hope you become the Leader of the Senate. :patriot:

[ebdarcy]

17. He's doing great.

He's just laying it all out on the line. He's calling them on the carpet for everything. Talking about torture now. And how the world sees guantanamo as representative of America. So sad.

[SaveOurDemocracy]

18. Senator Dodd has really impressed me ...

I thank him for his refusal to bend to the pressure.

[WillyT]

19. Dodd Is Kicking Ass !!!

:patriot:

[gateley]

21. "Can you please tell us how your immunity makes us any safer at all?" nt

[Divine Discontent]

22. K&R he is screaming the truth - I pray millions flipping channels will hear him and stop to see

what the fuss is all about - because as Chris says - it's of a MAJOR importance. K&R

[WillyT]

23. Damn... Is He Filibustering Tonight ???

Goin on to almost 2 hours now.

28. Too bad someone with his integrity couldn't be president.

[WillyT]

29. Yep... My Mom Just Called Me...

and said, "Why the hell aren't we electing HIM President?"

I, had no good answer.

Do you think he'd go for the VP slot???

Do you think it would be offered?

[K Gardner]

started freakin crying while I was talking and watching him on the TV. He's done now, they resume in the morning at 10.
